Country: | How about a Q&A sticky on the modeling page? You could ask quick questions such as what colour to use, correct paint scheme, and general how-to's without clogging up the page | |

Country: | Aircraft database
I think the aircraft database would make this site <insert angel chorus sound effect here>. I hear that the idea never really took off the ground though. I guess it must be difficult to design. What exactly are the biggest probelms? Maybe some people out there might have suggestions if they knew what the problems were. All-in-all, I think this would be a perfect website if the database were started!  | |

Country: | couple things -
isn't it pastries and not pasties? Women with pasties eat pastries, right?
And what happened to the T-shirt idea? Is it a dead issue?

Country:  | DANGER-Now entering pasty/pastry debate.
Over 'here', pasty has 3 definitions.
Pronounced Parr-stee, it's a meat/vegetable mix placed in a circle of PASTRY, folded over, and cooked, producing a semi-circular pie.
Pronounced Pay-stee, it refers to 'paste like consistency, colour, etc. Quote:

Country: | two things for me come to mind.
1. ability (or explanation how) to put images in a PM
2. format for a/c data base...
I have about 640 entries for 355th FG Mustangs and T-Bolts, plus Honor Roll of dates, pilots, a/c serial numbers, MACR's etc for WWII and Viet Nam a/c plus Encounter Logs of all air battles fought by 355th during WWII for those trying to match up units and pilots in LW.
I am deep into the 8th AF day by day scoring - which will NEVER be 100% accurate or complete but will offer aggragate insight to ratios, types of a/c lost and causes, etc.
I would donate these plus other stuff I have collected to contibute such efforts - I'm sure some other very knowledgeable guys on this forum would do the same.
I have 'Above and Beyond' Narratives for all the 355th pilots that won DSC/AFC or MoH, plus pretty good bio's of each of the 21 air aces..
Group Histories - perhaps three paragraphs each.
How about Member Photo albums for units. I put 100 herre, same (some number - different shots) on Armyairforces.com - but I have a lot of other stuff. A lot of people get leery because of misuse but I'm more about historical completeness than commercial.
How about a 'side elevation' section for those that want to display their art - but in a specific format and size.
How about referencing all to units and cross reference to type
I would love this site and Peter Randall's to become the premier WWII 'Go to' Place for historical data - despite the insidious influence of cretin like squids which lurk in the shadows..

Good solid ideas Bill.... I wish I had the capability to accomplish what u ask, but EVanGilder or Horse would be the only ones here who could pull this together....
